The League Program is designed to provide boys and girls, 3rd through 6th grade, the opportunity to play the game of basketball without having to travel out of town. The program will allow the children to learn the basic skills in a fun, fast paced game situation. The program runs for up to 7-8 weeks (nothing during the Thanksgiving week) and teams will have one 1.5 hour practice a week plus up to two games on Saturdays. The program is completed before the Rochester Public School Winter Break. If your child is in 3rd or 4th grade and would like to continue on with basketball after the first of the year look into the LATE TRAVEL program for them.
PARENT Coaches will be selected be selected by RCYBA.
All age groups will play 5-on-5 unless the numbers are low and a 4-on-4 league would be better for playing time. This decision will be made after registration closes and teams have been formed.
